Abstract

The structures of a number of neutral high-spin, triangular carbon and silicon systems were studied and their stabilities were predicted using the density functional theory methods (B3LYP functional with the 6-311++G** and 6-311+G** basis sets). The calculated spin-spin coupling constants have high positive values, thus indicating strong ferromagnetic interactions in the title systems.
